I would love Hayden Young and he would be a fantastic long term replacement for Salem when his career is over.

However, he just signed a long term contract with Freo and clearly won’t be going anywhere.

I think you'd be surprised. If it's the only way to get Jackson, and freo decide he's worth more to their future than young... then he'll come home.

    I can’t believe how poorly he played this year.

    The worst part is he cut the guts out of his trade value.

    Relax . What will he get paid at Freo?

    Rising Star winner, Premiership player, very young , a player we we were looking to build our team around and you suggest he has limited trade value ?

    I don’t think so. 

    This bloke arguably has the greatest currency value ever afforded in the competition.

    Refer Kelly, Cameron.

    How do you know LJ is demanding anything other than potentially wanting to go to his home state? He has no say in what Freo are willing to offer him contractually.

    Come on, let's not be nuffies about this.

    Yeah…. You’re probably right he isn’t demanding the lucrative contract. Freo went and offered top dollar from day one, forcing current players off their list including a club champion with no negotiation from the Jackson camp. 
     

    You may think I’m being a nuffie but you’re living in la la land if you really believe this move has nothing to do with the cash.

    That isn't what I said. I said he didn't set his own wage demands...

    If Freo offered salary X and LJ came back asking for salary X+100k that is exactly what he is doing.

    You're entirely speculating with no facts. "If" is a pretty important word in your post.

    I don’t see what the issue is with that. LJ has given us nothing this year. I am starting to think there’s a chance that he may never live up to his potential - so better to cash out now whilst the offers are high. I may eat my words in a few years but we all saw first hand how the Weid fizzled out. If we can get Grundy and a good KPF from the draft then that’s a massive win IMO.

     

    i trust if there is anything wrong with Grundy medically then we’d back out. Don’t need a mother BBB on our hands.

    Grundy is a big risk, and we would be doing a favour to the filth.

    Wouldn't it be better to transform Weideman into the second ruckman?

    Use the assets we get from LJ to look for some other much needed positions? Say a CHF or small forward?

    Jonny Ralph said at half time 5 Freo players will request trades this summer. I’m almost certain he said that - anyone confirm?

    One was Liam Henry who isn’t getting a game and has enough talent for us to look into him as part of the trade. God knows we need some fwd creativity

    Would certainly consider Henry and Acres. Acres has done well on the wing. We lack pace on the non-langers wing

    I'd take Liam Henry in a heartbeat and play him deep forward with Kosi playing some more minutes at centre bounce next year.

    If Henry could bring consistent pressure then those two would be an enormous headache for opposition and if we got back to some more daring ball movement going forward, they could get off the chain.

    Also brings incredible excitement to our forwardline which we're lacking badly.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
